In fact, he can be regarded as one of the most promising emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, but at the same time he is also one of the most tragic emperors, because he encountered a more powerful enemy than him, that is, Muhammad, and finally saw a large area of the empire occupied by the Great Eclipse, but even so, he still led the empire to repel the Great Cannibal and kept the Eastern Roman Empire from being wiped out like Persia, which laid the foundation for the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire in the future.

Of course, now the Great Eclipse has just begun to rise, and now the main enemy of the Great Cannibal is Persia, although there is some small friction with the Eastern Roman Empire, but it does not threaten the survival of the Eastern Roman Empire, plus Heraclius is indeed not young, and he has lost the vigilance of his youth, so he is still obsessed with his past exploits at this time, and does not take the threat of the Great Cannibal too seriously, and even when he knew that Bahla had been to the Tang Dynasty, he still wanted to compare his Rome with the Tang Dynasty to see which empire was more powerful?

"This ......" saw that Bahra hesitated when he heard Heraclius's question, and then said again with a firm gaze, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know if you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

"What is a lie, and what is the truth?" Heraclius looked at Bahra with a surprised face and asked.

"Your Majesty, now that our Persia is in danger, if you want to listen to lies, in order to please you, I will naturally praise your empire for being a hundred times stronger than the Tang Dynasty, but my conscience does not allow me to lie, so if you want to hear the truth, then I can honestly tell you, even if we Persia and Rome, even with the newly rising Great Eclipse, the three countries together are not as good as the Tang Dynasty!"

"Phew! You're lying! Bahra's words obviously hurt Heraclius's pride, and at the moment he saw him slam the scepter in his hand and said angrily, "How can there be such a powerful empire in this world?" ”

"I also hope that I am lying, but the facts are the facts, people who have not been to Datang can never imagine how powerful Datang is, and just a few years before I went to Datang, they just destroyed another powerful Turkic Empire next to them, this Turkic Empire used to be stronger than Datang, but after a few years of forbearance, Datang wiped out the entire Turk in one fell swoop, and even the Turkic emperor became a prisoner of Datang!" Bahra's face did not change at this time.

The Tang Dynasty is indeed much stronger than Persia and Rome, but Bahra's words are still a bit exaggerated, but he also did it on purpose, because he had studied Heraclius's character before coming, and knew that the Roman emperor was already old, and he gradually indulged in the past achievements and did not want to make progress, so he exaggerated the strength of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to sting the other party, and at the same time increase the weight of Li Shimin's letter to Heraclius.

"I don't believe that there is absolutely no such powerful empire in this world!" Heraclius still stubbornly shook his head and said, as the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, he is known as the master of the universe and the eternal supreme (the names of the two middle two are indeed another name for the Eastern Roman Emperor, and they are definitely not made up by Lao Yu), he used to think that the Eastern Empire was at most similar to his own Rome, so for a while he couldn't believe that the other party was so much stronger than himself.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, when I went to the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once gave us a batch of weapons, I brought a few of these weapons to you, which can be regarded as a gift to you, you are a lion on the battlefield, there must be a deep study of weapons, through these Datang standard weapons, you can definitely see the strength of the Tang army!" At this moment, Bahra spoke again.

"Where is the weapon, show me!" Heraclius was the founding emperor, and he also fought all the way from the province of Africa to Constantinople, and then fought everywhere, which stabilized the Eastern Roman Empire, which was on the verge of collapse, so his military attainments were also extremely high, and he was deeply interested in weapons.

With Heraclius' consent, Bahra immediately waved his hand to ask people to bring the weapons he brought, and after a while, he saw that some attendants brought several weapons, the most conspicuous of which was an extremely heavy long-handled broadsword, and Heraclius's eyes were immediately attracted to this broadsword, because this knife was not only long, but also had one of the most striking features was that the hilt was longer than the blade, compared to the Roman short sword they usually used was like a dagger.

"How can there be such a long knife, are the warriors of the Tang Dynasty all giants?" Heraclius couldn't help but stand up at this time, and strode down the steps to the long knife and asked.

"Hehe, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty are not giants, this weapon is called the Mo knife, also called the horse chopping knife, it is a weapon used by the heavy infantry of the Tang Dynasty, it is said that on the battlefield, the hoplites who use this weapon line up, and then march forward in unison, with waist force to make the Mo knife chop, even the cavalry will be split into pieces in front of them!" Bahra smiled and introduced Heraclius.

Hearing Bahra's words, Heraclius couldn't help but feel curious, and at the moment, regardless of his identity, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the Mo knife, but he didn't expect his hand to sink, and he almost couldn't pick it up, after all, compared to the light Roman short sword, this kind of Mo knife is simply too heavy, even the strong Heraclius feels a little difficult.

Although Heraclius is old, he is a very strong person, and he waved the heavy Mo knife in his hand twice, bringing up the sound of "whirring", and finally put it down gently: "What a heavy Mo knife, no wonder the Tang people call it a horse chopping knife, under a full blow, it can indeed split the war horse!" ”

Seeing Heraclius's appearance, Bahra was also secretly proud, in fact, he knew that even if it was the Tang Dynasty, the number of Modao troops was very small, and it was definitely the most elite infantry in the Tang Dynasty, and among the weapons that Datang supported them, there was no Mo knife, this Mo knife was also a gift from Li Shimin to Kavad in his private capacity, and it was borrowed by Bahra to give to Heraclius, and at the same time decorate the façade, in order to show the strength of Datang.

"Is this the bow and arrow of the Tang Army?" At this time, Heraclius saw the bow and arrow in the weapon again, and couldn't help but pick it up and look at it at the moment, because the bow of the Tang Dynasty is a recurve bow, and the recurve bow can store more energy, making the arrow shoot farther, and the bow used by the Romans is relatively primitive, similar to the later British longbow, which is made of a whole piece of wood, not only has a poor range, but also has a relatively long bow body, and the strength required to open the bow is also very large.

"Yes, this kind of bow is the standard equipment of the Tang Army, and they like to use bows and arrows intensively, there are special archer troops, the most important thing is that this kind of bow has a long range and a lot of strength, His Majesty the Emperor might as well try it himself!" At this time, Bahra was once again full of confidence and said, they Persia have been fighting with Rome all the year round, and they naturally know that Rome's bow and arrow, no matter how it is compared, the Tang Dynasty's bow and arrow are much better than Rome.

Heraclius was not polite, and immediately took out an arrow and put it on his bow, then slowly pulled it away, and then suddenly released his finger, and as a result, a long arrow flew away, and finally shot out of the temple gate, which made him gasp, because he knew that the best bow and arrow in his army could hardly exceed this range.

Next, Bahra introduced other weapons to Heraclius, including horse lances, Tang knives, and even crossbow arrows, among which crossbow arrows also aroused Heracliu's great interest, because he heard Bahra say that there is a kind of giant crossbow in the Tang army to defend the city, each crossbow arrow is like a spear, and several people can be pierced under an arrow, but there is no bed crossbow in the weapons used by the Tang Dynasty to support Persia, and even if there is, Bahra cannot bring it, because the bed crossbow is too big.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please see, this is the armor worn by the Tang Army, because the surface of the armor is too bright and can reflect the sun, so it is also called the Mingguang Armor!" At this time, Bahra pointed to a very powerful armor with a cold light shining all over his body.

Heraclius actually noticed this armor from the beginning, but because the Mo knife was more attractive, so he didn't ask, and then he heard Bahra's introduction, and he personally stepped forward to check this armor again, compared to other weapons, armor is definitely the most demanding weapon for craftsmen, and experienced generals can also see the strength of an army from the armor.

It is precisely because of this that Heraclius also checked very carefully, and then finally took a battle axe from the hands of the guards, and slashed a few times on the armor, and found that this armor is very strong, even if it is a heavy weapon like a battle axe, it is difficult to damage the armor, and the Roman short sword is even worse, of course, from the gaps in some armor, the short sword may also be able to hurt the people in the armor, but this armor is extremely tightly protected from the vital points of the body, even if it is injured, it will not immediately lose its combat effectiveness.

After checking the protection of the Mingguang armor, Heraclius couldn't help but show a silent expression, although he was extremely reluctant, but from the manufacture of these weapons and armor, he found that the Tang army did surpass Rome in weapon technology.

"How many such troops are there in Datang?" Heraclius finally asked again, at this time he still had a trace of delusion in his heart, if the number of the Tang army was not as good as his own, then if he really encountered it on the battlefield, they Rome could also rely on numerical superiority to win.

"I don't know the number of troops in the Tang Dynasty, but the last time they sent troops to attack the Turkic Empire, they dispatched 100,000 troops at one time, and before the Tang Dynasty, in order to attack an enemy country, they even mobilized a million troops!" Bahra spoke again.

Hearing Bahra's words, the expression on Heraclius' face became even heavier, although he knew that Bahra's words might be exaggerated, but the Tang Dynasty was definitely stronger than his Roman Empire. But at this moment, I saw that Bahra spoke again: "Your Majesty, these are actually not the most terrifying places for the Tang army!" ”
